International applications with supplementary search

 

For international applications entering the European phase with an international search report established by an International Searching Authority other than the above-mentioned (see III, 7.11.1), a supplementary search is carried out by the Search Division. If the Search Division, during the supplementary search, notes a lack of unity (see B-VII, 2.4), III, 7.9 above applies. Before the Examining Division, III, 7.10 and III 7.10a apply accordingly.
